Unlike the same named cathedral in London,the small church of St Paul's in Curry's Post has no claims to great architectural merit or grandeur. And yet built in 1876 by Sgt M Curry it has been a centre of Anglican Christian worship for over a century, continuing to hold regular monthly services for Midlands worshippers to this day. One of four churches under the wing of the central St Luke's church in Howick I have already featured St Andrew's in the Dargle Valley and St Mark's in the Karkloof/Shafton area. Like those two there is a graveyard alongside the church with many graves of the Curry family, and other notable dynasties of the Curry's Post area. There truly is much history recorded in the simple (and sometimes not so simple) tombstones. So, my recording of the Churches of Midlands county continues.A simple image for the delightful simplicity of the red brick building was all that was needed.
